Carousel Volkswagen Jingle Cross Increases Elite
Women’s Prize Money
Race organizers for the 3rd annual Carousel
Volkswagen Jingle Cross Rock announced a new sponsor for the Women’s
Elite Race. Casey’s General Stores and partner HandiMart will sponsor
the women’s Elite race on both days, increasing the payout to women’s
Elite payout to $2300 over the two days. Casey’s is an Iowa based
Midwestern convenience store company with over 1400 locations which
recently partnered with HandiMart, another convenience store centered in
Eastern Iowa. This two day cyclocross event in Iowa City, Iowa will
include 23 races with an overall payout of over $13,000 in cash and
prizes. All proceeds benefit the Children’s Hospital of Iowa.
“We were looking for an Iowa based sponsor to help with our Women’s
event, “said Race Director John Meehan of The Children’s Hospital of
Iowa. “We were delighted when Casey’s and partner company HandiMart
called us today offering us their charitable assistance. Casey’s is a
familiar friendly face to everyone in the Midwest and they have come to
the front of the paceline to help us bring this event to Iowa.”
In the 2005 women’s Elite race, Linda Sone (U.S. Hollywood Racing) took
the win. This year, Sone will be challenged by returning 2004 champion

Janesville Cyclocross race debuts in classic cross
style
The Janesville Velo Club debuted their cross race at
Gibbs Lake Park in true cyclocross style. Racers were treated to a
cold, snowy day and with the sun shining conditions quickly turned to
mud. Even without snow and mud this course would have challenged
riders with twists and turns, a long extended climb on the back section
of the park, and a small run along side the lake.
